5 yards 2 feet 3 inches:
1 yard=36 inches; 5 yards=180 inches
1 foot=12 inches; 2 feet=24 inches
180+24+3=207 inches

9 yards 1 foot 10 inches:
9 yards=324 inches
1 foot=12 inches
324+12+10=346 inches
346-207=139 inches
John ran 139 inches fartheer than Jeremy

Jeremy: 5 yards, 2 feet, 3 inches
John: 9 yards, 1 foot, 10 inches

You need to find how many inches Jeremy and John ran. There are 36 inches in a yard, so multiply 5 yards by 36.
(5)(36) = 180 inches

There are 12 inches in a foot, so multiply 2 feet by 12.
(2)(12) = 24 inches

Add 180 and 24 inches to 3 inches.
180 + 24 + 3 = 207 inches

Jeremy ran 207 inches.

Now for John:
Multiply 9 yards by 36 inches.
(9)(36) = 324 inches

1 foot = 12 inches

Add 324 and 12 inches to 10 inches.
324 + 12 + 10 = 346 inches

John ran 346 inches.

Subtract Jeremy's run from John's.
346 - 207 = 139 inches

John ran 139 inches farther than Jeremy.

Find the general term of {a_n}
Assoli18 [71]

From the given recurrence, it follows that

a_{n+1} = 2a_n + 1 \\\\ a_{n+1} = 2(2a_{n-1} + 1) = 2^2a_{n-1} + 1 + 2 \\\\ a_{n+1} = 2^2(2a_{n-2}+1) + 1 + 2 = 2^3a_{n-2} + 1 + 2 + 2^2 \\\\ a_{n+1} = 2^3(2a_{n-3} + 1) + 1 + 2 + 2^2 = 2^4a_{n-3} + 1 + 2 + 2^2 + 2^3

and so on down to the first term,

a_{n+1} = 2^na_1 + \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}2^k

(Notice how the exponent on the 2 and the subscript of <em>a</em> in the first term add up to <em>n</em> + 1.)

Denote the remaining sum by <em>S</em> ; then

S = 1 + 2 + 2^2 + \cdots + 2^{n-1}

Multiply both sides by 2 :

2S = 2 + 2^2 + 2^3 + \cdots + 2^n

Subtract 2<em>S</em> from <em>S</em> to get

S - 2S = 1 - 2^n \implies S = 2^n - 1

So, we end up with

a_{n+1} = 4\cdot2^n + S \\\\ a_{n+1} = 2^2\cdot2^n + 2^n-1 \\\\ a_{n+1} = 2^{n+2} + 2^n - 1 \\\\\implies \boxed{a_n = 2^{n+1} + 2^{n-1} - 1}

In the city, the dust and between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the distance between the library and police station x. Then, the distance between the police station and fire station would be 3 less than twice x. Twice means multiply by 2 so twice x is 2 * x = 2x and 3 less than means that you subtract 3 so 3 less than 2x is 2x - 3. Now, we know that x = 5 so all we have to do now is substitute x = 5 into 2x - 3, therefore, the answer is 2 * 5 - 3 = 7 miles.
